Josiah Mackenzie joined me in Denver to record this episode in person and I couldn't have walked away from a more refreshing conversation. This episode is dedicated to the heart and spirt of hospitality for all type of brands, businesses, and operators out there.
Josiah's career in hospitality started working the front desk at a small property on the California coast. From there, he built a hotel marketing website which eventually 70,000+ hoteliers used each month to learn how to increase demand for their properties. Josiah wanted to learn how to turn demand into revenue, so spent a few years at a revenue management technology company before spending the past few years working with hotel owners and hospitality real estate investors at Juniper Square. But it was during the years he spent helping to build what became one of the biggest hotel operations technology companies in the world (ReviewPro, 60,000+ hotels) that he learned something that has stuck with him since: operations is the most important part of a hotel business today.

Joining me on the podcast this week is one of the industries rising stars, Rose Tipka, Co-Founder of Your Family's Place.
Rose and her husband define hospitality as a family affair and after an intense life event, discussed in the episode, Rose decided it was time to take control of their families legacy and created Your Family's Place as an example for many other women and moms in the industry that being a mom is not a hindrance but actually a super power.

Taking his past experiences, he now approaches Otium with a mindset of intentionality and simplicity. Too often, property managers try to over complicate their operations and tech stack.
